The skinny
The Seahawks made the Super Bowl this year for the first time in the franchise's 30-year history. Fans have flocked to Qwest Stadium since it opened in 2002, helping the team generate the revenue needed to resign NFL MVP Shaun Alexander to an eight-year, $62 million contract after the Super Bowl loss. The teams need to capitalize on its success and raise ticket prices, which were the third lowest in the NFL last year.
